iTeams NL is holding a Christmas Appeal for the Athens Refugee Center which is a ministry to refugees located right in the heart of Athens. It is a ministry of Helping Hands whose aim is to share the good news of Jesus in word and deed with refugees in Athens.
Every year Helping Hands holds a Christmas party for refugees. This year is no different. The team plans to hold four Christmas parties for up to 200 refugees at each party. Each guest will enjoy a wonderful meal, a practical and appropriate gift, plus the chance to hear the Christmas story with the good news of Jesus. The Christmas story will be told through the means of theater with the parts played by Christian refugees.
The team asks for prayer in the following areas:
- for the preparation and organisation of the program
- for refugees to respond with open hearts to the sharing of the gospel
- for the team's health and effectiveness during the busy week
- for the funds to run the program
If you would like to make a difference to the lives of refugees then you can pray for the team and you can give to the following iTeams NL account:
